Reaction Steps

Heating 4-amino-2-n-butyl-5-ethyl-6-methylpyrimidine (from Example 19) with 4-bromomethyl-2'-t-butoxycarbonylbiphenyl in an appropriate solvent such as methanol or DMF, followed by treatment of the intermediate pyrimidinium species with aqueous base such as 0.1N sodium hydroxide as described by Brown, Hoeger, and Mason (J. Chem. Soc., 1955, 4035), followed by treatment with neat trifluoroacetic acid to achieve final deprotection of the carboxyl group, would provide the title compound.
